COMM 221 Syllabus, page 5TWITTER PARTICIPATION ASSIGNMENTPart 1: Daily TweetsThe Assignment:Post three tweets for each class day:1) Post at least one tweet that responds to the reading. There are many ways to respondto the reading. The key is to respond in an honest and thoughtful way. Here are someof the ways you might choose to respond.-Your tweet may apply the reading to a new context.-Your tweet may give an additional example of a key concept form the reading.-Your tweet may critique the key argument of the reading.-Your tweet may disagree with the author.-Your tweet may offer an important question the author doesn’t answer, and thusa useful question to discuss in class.2) Post at least one tweet that responds to your classmates. As with the reading, thereare many ways to respond to your classmates. The key is to respond in a way that isboth kind (as we all learn together) and open (to learning from your classmates). Hereare some of the ways you might choose to respond.-You may explain how one of your classmates’ tweets helped you understand aconcept that you didn’t understand before.-You may disagree with one of your classmates’ tweets.-You may extend the argument one of your classmates makes, adding additionalevidence or ideas.-You may answer a question posed in your of your classmates’ tweets.The key here is to do more than simply agree with your classmate’s argument.3) Post at least one question. This might be a clarification question (something you don’tunderstand—a concept that is still fuzzy) or a question for discussion (an interestingidea that you’d like to pursue or hear what other people are thinking about).Notes about your tweets: Your tweets can be tentative. They don’t have to be final thoughts that you have nodoubt about. There is room for fuzziness, uncertainty, and risk in learning. Your tweets must use the course hashtag #XUCOMM221 (otherwise, we won’t beable to find them!).Twitter Account:

COMM 221 Syllabus, page 6 This assignment is an opportunity to begin to build a professional online identity.Many of us use social media for both personal purposes in personal contexts (sharewith friends and family) and for professional purposes in professional contexts. danahboyd calls these collapsing contexts—your boss can see the same thing your mom can.One way to manage these collapsing contexts is to have multiple social mediaaccounts—one for your professional contacts and posts and one for your personalcontacts and posts. This assignment falls into the professional category—these tweetsdemonstrate your expertise in digital media.If you do not have a twitter account, start a professional twitter account for thisassignment. If you already have a personal twitter account, start a new professionaltwitter account. You may also use a pseudonym, rather than your real name, but besure to choose a relatively professional pseudonym. If you have extenuatingcircumstances that make posting online dangerous or problematic for you, let meknow ASAP.Due Date: Each tweet is due before class begins.Learning Goals:This part of the assignment serves three goals:1) For time in class to be most useful, you must come to class prepared—that means Iexpect you to read and engage the assigned material before class. This assignmentencourages you to read the material carefully.2) This assignment allows you to learn from your classmates. One of the reasons Xavier’seducation is so powerful (and so unique) is that you have an opportunity to learn withother really smart students. By making our thoughts, reactions, and critiques aboutthe reading public for each student to see, we have the opportunity to learn from eachother (That’s why we’re not doing this on pen and paper).3) This assignment offers the opportunity to learn to use Twitter, a major digital mediaplatform. It allows us to reflect on its technical affordances (favorites, @mentions,etc.) and its community norms.Part 2: Turning in your tweetsThe Assignment:At three points in the semester, I’d like you to “turn in” your tweets by turning in aMicrosoft Word document that gathers your tweets in one place by taking screenshots ofyour tweets. This gives you more control over your twitter participation assignment and thegrade you earn. This is a chance to make sure you get credit for all of your tweets (even for

COMM 221 Syllabus, page 7those times you forgot to use the course hashtag). This is also a chance for you to make anargument for the quality of your tweets. Use this as an opportunity to demonstrate to me thatyou completed the Twitter Participation assignment at a high level. This is your chance togive evidence of both quantity (that you tweeted every class period) and quality (that yourtweets were evidence of engagement with the reading). This is also my chance to give youfeedback about your Twitter participation throughout the course of the semester.Section 1: Highlighted TweetsAt the top of your document, highlight two tweets: Choose one tweet that best shows your thoughtful response to the reading. Choose one tweet that best shows your openness to learning from your fellowstudents.Include a paragraph that explains and analyzes why you chose to highlight those particulartweets.Section 2: All of Your Tweets for This Period of the SemesterThen, put ALL of your tweets in a section below the highlighted tweets (including your twohighlighted tweets). Organize these tweets by class period (and label them as such—thereshould be a heading for each class period). All of your tweets should be in this section (yourhighlighted tweets should be here as well as in the top section). I should be able to easilycount the number of tweets here to see how many days you successfully completed thetwitter assignment.Due Dates:Tweets Batch #1 (10points)Due: T 9/18Include tweets for:1.

COMM 221 Syllabus, page 8Total Points Possible: 30 points totalTurn in: Upload the word document to Canvas (.doc or .docx)COMMUNICATION ANALYSIS PAPERThe Assignment:This assignment invites you to explore the rhetorical dynamics of your own communicationonline. This will require you to develop critical distance to evaluate your owncommunication practices and will require you to practice using three key theoretical terms:rhetorical choices, audience, and technical affordances.Choose three instances in which you engage in public communication online. Use variety inyour posts: post to a wide range of websites, using a wide range of topics, for a wide range ofcommunities, with a wide range of rhetorical strategies. Do not use one of your readingresponse tweets for this paper. I want you to analyze your everyday communication in amore natural setting, rather than a setting designed for this class. For each instance ofcommunication, analyze your rhetorical choices, the audience, and the affordances at play.Explain how these affect the communicative interaction.Your essay should be 1,300-1,500 words, single or double-spaced. Include at least one screenshot of each of your original posts as well as any responses you receive. Because you areanalyzing your own communication, you may use first person. Because this is an analyticalessay, you should use academic prose for your essay. You can think of your audience as yourclassmates—people who are familiar with the terms we learned in class.You can organize your paper in many ways, but students often find the easiest organizationalstructure to be:Paragraph 1: Post 1, Rhetorical choicesParagraph 2: Post 1, AudienceParagraph 3: Post 1, AffordancesParagraph 4: Post 2, Rhetorical choicesParagraph 5: Post 2, AudienceParagraph 6: Post 2, Affordances

What does this case teach use about questions we should askabout how technology affects our learning? -the-lms-newcastle-university Sherri Spelic is a teacher and an expert in education, pedagogy, and classdesign. This particular YouTube video brings up questions of equity in education andhow we design classes. She responds to the question: ““How would you designlearning environments, exercises and even education in general if your aim was tosuppress marginalized communities?” Sherri answers that question from her own perspective—that of designing physical education classes. As you watch her video,think about how the choices we make in our class policies and structures affectequity and fairness—that is, how those class policies and structures mightunfairly punish some students and not others.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v slQ-WqBiykUMaha Bali: Thinking about the justification for deadlines and late nts/UNIT 1: DIGITAL MEDIA HISTORY:
